<quoted text>For the past 30 years, the Second Amendment has been defined by the most radical elements of the gun-rights movement. They argue not only that the Second Amendment guarantees individuals the right to own gunsa view that represents, in my view, the best understanding of our history and traditionbut, more importantly, that nearly any restriction on the manufacture, ownership, or use of firearms infringes this sacred right.This radical vision of the Second Amendment is remarkable mainly for having so little basis in Supreme Court case law, the text of the Constitution, and American history.In 2008 the Supreme Court held that the Second Amendment did secure the right of law-abiding, responsible adults to have handguns in their homes for protection. Yet the court went out of its way to acknowledge that most forms of gun regulation remain constitutionally permissible.Like most rights, the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited, Justice Antonin Scalia, explained. In a sentence the NRA and many gun-rights extremists apparently missed, Scalia wrote that the Second Amendment is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose.Lets say that again: Justice Scalia, hero of the most intransigent conservatives in the country, stated unequivocally that restrictions of Second Amendment rights are constitutional.Indeed, Scalias opinion in Heller warned that nothing in our opinion should be taken to cast doubt on a wide range of gun laws, including bars on felons and the mentally ill from possessing guns, restrictions on guns in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms. These categories capture the vast majority of gun laws in America.In short, theres plenty of room under the Second Amendment for gun control.http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/02...but hey, maybe you can resort to the dead horse of citing fake founder's quotes.it's the only response i ever get. nutjob has nothing else. facts are not it's friend.

Dumbass, the founders considered the right to bear arms a god given right, the 2nd amendment merely codified it.

<quoted text>The democrats have a base that is easily distracted. This, along with a pattern of shifting blame and shirking responsibility has been evident since The One was inaugurated.This administration's behavior has become laughably predictable.Oh, and let's not forget that when all else fails, pull out a race card.

Since the race card has been used so much it no longer has any merit, it's now the President of the United States' role to call a summit to lecture us on concussions in the NFL.

He must not like having to deal with the bureaucratic mess at the VA or hurting Muslims' feelings by addressing the epidemic of Christian persecution around the world.

71 minutes devoted to the VA scandal by the 3 over the air networks, 5 seconds were used to mention Il Douche, who is mad as hell, as he was mad in hell in 2008 when he was running for president. After vowing to fix the VA if elected, what has he done in the last 6 years?

Nothing, nada, zero, zip.

Let's look at Hurricane Katrina under Bush. Bush was castigated nightly by the same 3 networks, despite the fact the mayor of N.O. and the governor were demorats and should have been responsible for their own people.

<quoted text>It is sad and synonymously hilarious that this jerk jumps on gay marriage, gender gaps, the "New Subtle Racism", Football Brain Concussions, "If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon" and racist remarks of a Basketball Team owner while the economy sucks and the world drifts away from America's influence leaving it irrelevant in this century going forward.And his First Cow wants our children to eat vegetables.Ours is now a country run by Access Hollywood and The Tonight Show.

At least Jimmy Fallon isn't afraid to make Obama the brunt of many of his jokes.

It's just one of the many reasons why I like him.

But you're right. It's like we're a never-ending skit on SNL as an episode of the Twilight Zone.

it's a small time internet forum filled with right wing nutjobs much like yourself. i don't even take myself seriously when i'm here, so i can assure you that you place well down my list of those who can be taken seriously. you can't even answer a direct question without taking a long journey down deflection lane.

Obama Has Spent Seven Years Promising to Fix the VA ...blog.foreignpolicy.com/.../obama_has_spent_se... ...Foreign PolicyMay 21, 2014 - In the summer of 2007, Obama appeared before the Veterans of Foreign Wars to pledge to clean up the VA and deliver more timely care to ...

WASHINGTON  Its one of those promises the president would probably like to forget.

In vowing to make the Veterans Administration the model of national health-care reform back in 2008, the outlook for scandal-plagued Obamacare suddenly seems even worse.

WND has discovered that during his transition into the White House in 2008-09, President Obama proposed in his Obama-Biden plan to make the VA a leader of national health care reform so that veterans get the best care possible.

However, instead of fixing the VA, the administration has had to defend its role in the death of veterans by neglect.

Meanwhile, WND is reporting that eight years earlier, in a failed run for Congress, Obama unveiled a sweeping health-care plan that modeled aspects of the Veterans Administrations medical system.

The VA problems became a national sensation April 14 when CNN reported that at least 40 U.S. veterans died waiting for appointments at the Phoenix VA, many of whom were placed on a secret waiting list.

The discovery of the Obama-Biden VA plan fits a pattern that has come to light this week in which Obama repeatedly warned, or was warned, of serious problems at the VA but apparently did little in response.

<quoted text>Lets wait & see. I'm thinking the idea that you ignore the winter weather proves you are just dumber than sh*t.Yes, the Bush recession was the worst in 80 years compiled with a near financial meltdown, housing collapse, two quagmire wars. The effects are still affecting our economy.Maybe one day, you whiny little sh*ts will admit how your party screwed this country both under Bush & then fighting recovery under Obama.

If GDP growth in 2Q 2014 is negative, we are officially in recession, regardless of the weather.

But you have a point. When the blame Bush excuses no longer work, might as well blame the weather.

<quoted text>Funny chit there Flack. I realize that being from WV you assume everyone lives in a trailer. You avoiding trailer parks must be why you no longer live there.Real people should be concerned when they see a person carrying a gun. Do they know how to carry it safely? Is the safety on? is it properly secured? Are they one of "those" people?Guns are not toys. They should be handled responsibly. I question how responsible these girls were when their purpose was to create a stir. I question the responsibility of anyone who totes.Guns resent an opportunity for a bad situation. Does the reason to carry a gun out weight the chances of an accidental shooting or these guns being taken & used by criminals.

Some folks are concerned every time they see a cop carrying a gun, because they know that the police are never held accountable for handling a gun irresponsibly.

www.usatoday.com/story/money/.../gdp.../18760 ... USA Todayby Tim Mullaney - in 28 Google+ circlesJan 30, 2013 - You two really should actually do some research before trying to say I told .... Economists had expected a gain of 1% for fourth-quarter GDP.

Oh wait, the apologists said it was the cold weather, not Oblamer's misguided policies. Extremely cold weather and globull warming, sumptin' ain't right.

The thousands of mortgage defaults and foreclosures in the "subprime" housing market (i.e., mortgage holders with poor credit ratings) is the direct result of thirty years of government policy that has forced banks to make bad loans to un-creditworthy borrowers. The policy in question is the 1977 Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), which compels banks to make loans to low-income borrowers and in what the supporters of the Act call "communities of color" that they might not otherwise make based on purely economic criteria.

The original lobbyists for the CRA were the hardcore leftists who supported the Carter administration and were often rewarded for their support with government grants and programs like the CRA that they benefited from. These included various "neighborhood organizations," as they like to call themselves, such as "ACORN" (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now). These organizations claim that over $1 trillion in CRA loans have been made, although no one seems to know the magnitude with much certainty. A U.S. Senate Banking Committee staffer told me about ten years ago that at least $100 billion in such loans had been made in the first twenty years of the Act.

So-called "community groups" like ACORN benefit themselves from the CRA through a process that sounds like legalized extortion. The CRA is enforced by four federal government bureaucracies: the Fed, the Comptroller of the Currency, the Office of Thrift Supervision, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The law is set up so that any bank merger, branch expansion, or new branch creation can be postponed or prohibited by any of these four bureaucracies if a CRA "protest" is issued by a "community group." This can cost banks great sums of money, and the "community groups" understand this perfectly well. It is their leverage. They use this leverage to get the banks to give them millions of dollars as well as promising to make a certain amount of bad loans in their communities.
